PS5 Pro Users Report Graphics Issues, Likely Caused by PSSR

PS5 Pro Graphics Issue: Wide-spread Problem Unaddressed

A significant number of players have raised concerns about a PS5 Pro graphics issue causing excessive shimmer in games. This problem seems to affect various games and is not an isolated case. Many believe that the culprit behind this issue is the improper implementation of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).

Temporary Workaround Available

Multiple discussions have emerged on social media platforms and gaming forums like Reddit and ResetEra, leading to the conclusion that the problem mainly occurs when games are running in 60 fps on the PS5 Pro. Despite the growing number of complaints, Sony has not officially acknowledged or fixed the issue. However, users have found a temporary fix by switching to 120 fps.

Some players speculate that the shimmering effect is most prominent on in-game metallic edges, especially when they interact with light sources. A Reddit user compiled a list of affected games, pointing out the reflective elements that seem to trigger the problem.

Games like Alan Wake 2, Spider-Man 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 have all been identified as experiencing the 60 fps shimmering issue, particularly after receiving the Pro enhanced patch.

We will continue monitoring the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
